Currently when users install packages using dnf with langpacks they have to install the langpacks themselves by hand (if they even know about them).
This is similar to what we have yum langpacks plugin which is already a [[Features/YumLangpackPlugin]] in Fedora but there is one missing thing that this plugin currently does not provide automatic installation of langpacks which is [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1114422 under development]. Therefore I am proposing this as basic langpacks plugin only that provides all the required commands to install langpacks.
